WGCDR S. Kate Conroy and Amy Plant, Jericho Disruptive Innovation, Royal Australian Air Force, will present a seminar on Thursday, 22 August 2024.
The Political Declaration on responsible military use of AI and autonomy (Nov, 2023) calls for the endorsing states to develop appropriate measures to ensure responsible AI and autonomy at relevant stages of the technology lifecycle. This talk will consider existing and emerging human-centred methods for the test and evaluation of human factors relevant to responsible AI in the military domain as well as methodological gaps. The talk will discuss human-centred methods to demonstrate compliance with:
- Military AI Frameworks
- Military Responsible AI (RAI) Toolkits
- RAI international agreements in the military domain
The talk will also consider impacts of AI on ethical dimensions including wellbeing, autonomy and justice across diverse stakeholders (e.g. civilians, industry, academia, government, NGOs, the public and military personnel). The aim of the event is to promote human-centred assurance methodologies to justify AI solution design, features, function, and context of use.
